Primal Coast & NewcastleThe Five sets are a class of electrical multiple units currently operated by NSW TrainLink. Built by Comeng between 1970 and 1989, the sets are of stainless steel construction, and are currently the oldest in the NSW TrainLink fleet. Initially introduced under the Public Transport Commission, merely sets from 1977 and onwards remain in service, now operating on Interurban services throughout New South Wales on the Main Western line to Lithgow and Principal Northern line to Newcastle. The Five sets will be gradually phased out with the introduction of the replacement D fix trains

First batch (DCF, DDC, DTF & DTC) [edit]
In July 1968, the Section of Railways New South Wales placed an order for the first batch 16 cars with Commonwealth Engineering science.[1] The first 4 cars debuted on the Sydney to Gosford route on 22 June 1970, targeted as F111.[2] All xvi cars were in operation by September 1970.[3]
These cars had many like features to the after-congenital cars, including the 1-slice moulded glass reinforced plastic stop in purple blueish & grayness livery (earning them the Blue Goose nickname), semi-automatic doors, electronically controlled brakes and double-glazed windows. They had a different fashion of headlight and interior lighting to subsequent builds.
At that place were:
- eight Power Cars – DCF 8001–8008 – Economic system Class
- 4 Driving Trailer Cars – DDC 9001–9004 – 1st Class upper deck, Economic system Class other seats
- iv Trailer Cars – DTF 9011-9012 – Economy Class; DTC 9021–9022 – 1st Class upper deck, Economy Form other seats
The configuration of these cars was unsuccessful. The cars were fitted with AEI equipment, and the electrical equipment was split betwixt the power and trailer machine. The cables were not able to provide the ability needed to operate the train as proposed. This resulted in many failures of the train to operate and likewise failures in the air-conditioning organization.
One class travel was introduced in September 1974, and then the seating was all economic system class. This led to the refurbishment of the DDIU sets with the original luggage racks in a higher place the seating in the single deck section beingness removed. During this fourth dimension the sets were targeted as U sets, the plates used on the single deck interurbans.
In the early 1980s, information technology was decided to convert these to trailer cars hence xvi power cars were ordered with no matching trailers. Between March and Dec 1982 the cars were rewired at Electric Carriage Workshops, and the driver compartments removed and replaced by passenger toilets and luggage space. The reinforced plastic ends remained, albeit with the blue removed.[1]
The cars were subsequently renumbered:
- DCF 8001–8008 > DMT 9201–9207 (7 cars remained after writing off DCF 8004)
- DDC 9001–9004 > Ddt 9208–9211
- DTF 9011–9012 & DTC 9021–9022 > DFT 9212–9215
In 2005, these sets were withdrawn and scrapped post-obit the discovery of rust in the steel frames.
2nd batch (DCM & DCT) [edit]
From October 1977, the second batch began to enter service, with many differences from the first batch. The electric equipment was all mounted on the power car, using Mitsubishi Electric equipment; they had stainless steel underframes; were fitted with vacuum retentivity toilets, and had aureate equally opposed to dark-green tinted windows. These cars were the commencement of the Five sets, with the V showing that they were installed with vacuum retention toilets.[ citation needed ] They operated separately from the 1970 cars, equally the two types were not compatible with each other.[1]
The cars built were:
- Power Cars – DCM 8021–8036
- Driving Trailer Cars – DCT 9031–9044
The driving trailers were not used that much, due to driver complaints nigh an uncomfortable "boot" when the power machine started to push the trailer. The controls in the DCTs were gradually stripped and used to replace lacking controls in the DCMs. In 1990 DCT 9034 was refurbished past CityRail equally a lounge automobile with lounge chairs and a kitchen for utilise as a charter car named Contura.[4] Information technology wasn't a success, not helped by poor marketing, and it was rebuilt as a conventional trailer (without controls) in 2000 and renumbered DET 9216. During the Citydecker refurbishment carried out by A Goninan & Co in the 1990s, DCT 9031-9036 had their commuter controls reinstated and were recoded every bit DTDs allowing CityRail to innovate The River a two-auto service from Wyong to St Marys. At the same time the DCMs were refurbished, receiving destination indicators and ditchlights. The refurbishment also saw the installation of air conditioning in the driver's cabs of the DCMs, their lack of air-conditioning had a spousal relationship ban preventing them being used as leading cars since 1995.[five] DCM 8032–8036 were modified to have wheelchair seating, and recoded equally DTMs. The DCMs that had destination indicators eventually had them removed and replaced with a metallic blanking plate, later on a decision not to use them on Interurban services. Some were withdrawn in 2011.
V set DIM with the Land Rail Authority candied livery and glass reinforced plastic end introduced in June 1984
Third batch (DIM & DIT) [edit]
From May 1981, DIM Power Cars and DIT trailers started to be delivered. These cars had increased seating compared with the DC series, up from 88 to 96 for the power cars, and from 92 to 112 for the trailers.
The cars built were:
- Power Cars – DIM 8037–8092
- Trailer Cars – DIT 9101–9184
DIM 8037-8068 and were the last cars to exist delivered with the Blueish Goose moulded fibreglass ends, cream & forest veneer interiors and green seats.
DIM 8069-8092 were built with a white moulded fibreglass cease incorporating the State Rail Authority'due south corporate colours of red, orange and yellowish, yellow interiors, newer air conditioning technology and ditchlights. These can exist distinguished from the earlier DIMs past the air-workout grille cover.
DJM and the residue of DIT cars [edit]
Advancements in technology saw a thyristor chopper system fitted to the next batch of power cars, coded DJM. The chopper cars gave a smoother and quieter ride. The chopper cars can be distinguished from the earlier camshaft cars by a large open grille at the pantograph stop of the ability motorcar, and past different hatch coverings over the driver's side of the power car. DJM 8123–8137 had fifty-fifty larger open grilles on the pantograph end. DJM 8101 had its Candy livery moulded fibreglass end repainted into CityRail blue and yellow in 1990 to form a special ready, with the commemorative diction "celebrating twenty years of double-deck intercity services to Gosford" applied well-nigh the commuter'south cab window. In 2009, DJM 8101's front was repainted into standard Intercity livery.
Final batch (DKM & DKT) [edit]

The concluding V sets were introduced in 1989, and they were the last carriages to exist congenital by Comeng'due south Granville manufacturing plant. These cars were coded DKM and DKT and are permanently coupled. There were several changes: the cars were finished in corrugated steel, instead of the previous inserted Budd fluting. Seating had separate seat backs. Instead of the button-pull doors inside the previous V sets, the DKs were fitted with an electronically operated vestibule door, and no door was installed at the gangway. The Land Rail Authority wanted to order an extra 50 but funding was not available.[6]
Overhauls [edit]
During 1993, the distinctive gold tinted windows were replaced by charcoal ones.[7] Starting in May 1995 the earlier carriages were overhauled by A Goninan & Co, Broadmeadow every bit part of the CityDecker programme. This saw the DCMs receive driver's cab air conditioning, destination indicators and ditchlights were not already fitted.[8] [9] The fibreglass stop was repainted grey and yellow. This was afterwards changed to blue and xanthous.
Eventually all cars were put through the program with those with xanthous interiors being refurbished in the same cream interior with green seats way as the older cars.
On 1 July 2013, a refurbishment of the remaining 200 cars was appear as role of the NSW TrainLink and Sydney Trains restructure and branding. The refurbishment most notably includes new carpets and seat covers themed in 'Bush Plum'. The external livery of the trains are also changed to a grey, red and yellow scheme.[10]
In service [edit]
When introduced, the V sets operated interurban services from Sydney Primal on the Main Northern line to Gosford and on the Main Western line to Mountain Victoria. It wasn't until the Ten Tunnels west of Clarence were lowered in 1978 that they were able to operate to Lithgow.
Following the extension of the electrified network, their sphere of performance was extended to Wyong (April 1982), Newcastle (June 1984), Port Kembla (Feb 1986), Dapto (Jan 1993) and Kiama (November 2001). From Jan 2012, Five sets ceased operating South Coast services. In June 2015, retired cars 8038-9031-9040-8040 were returned to service every bit V27.
Accidents [edit]
- DCF 8004 – on 16 January 1976, a half-dozen-car fix broke down at Glenbrook, when locomotive 4623 struck the rear motorcar killing one passenger and injuring several others. The damaged rear motor car was moved to the side of the track to clear the line, but it overbalanced and fell down a 400m deep gorge, breaking in half on the way down. The pieces were lifted out with RAAF helicopters.
- DCM 8030 was written off after an accident most Emu Plains in September 1985[11]
- DIM 8048 was written off afterwards an accident at Springwood in September 1987[8]
- DJM 8107 was written off after an incident at Lawson in November 1989[8]
- DIM 8037 was written off after an accident at Katoomba in January 1990[7]
- DIM 8060 was written off later on the Cowan rail accident in May 1990
- DIM 8067 on 2 December 1999 collided with the rear car carrier of the Indian Pacific in the Glenbrook train disaster rebuilt equally DIM 8020
- DCM 8027 was rebuilt later on an blow at Katoomba later on a tree fell onto the roof in mid 2011
- DCM 8028 was written off later on beingness crushed by falling trees at Medlow Bath in July 2011[12]
- V40 and V48 collided with each other at Mount Victoria in July 2015. Two cars of V40 (DKM 8144, DKT 9190) and V48 (DJM 8113, DIT 9147) were withdrawn for repairs and have since returned to service, since mid-2017 the cars have been reverted to usual.
Withdrawal [edit]
The remaining 15 original serial cars were withdrawn in late 2005 due to corrosion in the underframes, these cars had balmy steel underframes and stainless steel bodies and the contact between these two unlike metals resulted in galvanic corrosion. DMT 9204 was subsequently destroyed in an emergency services grooming exercise on 25 November 2008.
In Jan 2011, an additional 25 Oscar H fix cars were ordered to replace the 1977 batch of V sets.[13] However some remain in service and were put through the refurbishment programme in 2014.
All are to be replaced by D sets with passenger services expected to begin in 2022-2023.[14]
Y sets [edit]
Six cars from the 3rd batch were converted into exam trains to exam/trial the Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system and the Digital Railroad train Radio Organization (DTRS) across the electrified network.[ when? ] DJMs 8121, 8127, 8128 & 8134 and DITs 9127 & 9131 were formed into two sets numbered Y1 and Y2.[xv] They were fitted with computers and test equipment, several CCTV cameras and small kitchens in the trailer cars. These sets were formed into two 3 car sets which when combined make up a 6 car consist.
